Telkom Kenya could lose up to 60 percent of its subscriber base when it deactivates unregistered SIM cards on Saturday midnight, compounding the loss of customers it has witnessed in recent years.

The telco, Kenya’s third-biggest telecommunications company by users, revealed Friday that only 40 percent of its users have complied with the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) registration directive ahead of the October 15 deadline.
